The present pandemic has predisposed a severe threat to the globe's health and economy.
Millions of individuals have already died due to this virus, and millions more are still sick. As
per the World Health Organization, COVID-19 has caused over five million infections and over
0.3 million fatalities globally as of May 16, 2020. According to current statistics, the vast
majority of patients who died from the infection had underlying health difficulties such as kidney
damage, heart conditions, diabetes, and so on (Li et al. 518). The coronavirus pandemic is among
the significant crises in the 21st century, following the MERS, and has resulted in the
extensive global quarantine (Zowalaty and Järhult). Thriving metropolises have become vacant
lots, open spaces where people have gathered for decades have become practically deserted, and
thousands around the globe are under lockdown. The quarantine established due to the
coronavirus pandemic is devastating to humanity, with all markets closed, religious buildings
shuttered, public gatherings prohibited, travel restrictions imposed, construction projects
suspended, and the economy and stock exchanges globally collapsing. The coronavirus outbreak,
on the other hand, has a number of positive aspects that the world has been witnessing all

through the quarantine in terms of climatic and ecological changes. States-sponsored extensive
quarantine restrictions around the globe led to a huge change in the environment, which is a
promising indication for the comprehensive ecological adversaries, like pollutant gas effluents
and ozone layer depreciation. This article discussed some of the good effects of the coronavirus
triggered lockdown on the ecology, as well as how the epidemic might be used to spur
constructive change.
Climate and Air Quality Change
According to WHO, air pollutants kill seven million individuals annually, and over 80%
of the metropolis populations are subjected to poor air (WHO 2020). As individuals stay at
homes, air quality is enhanced substantially, notably in significantly impacted regions such as
Wuhan, northern Italy and other significant metropolis in the United States. In 337 metropolis
across China, emissions of dangerous gases among many pollutants declined by 25% early in
2020, and air quality enhanced by 11.4% than in the earlier past years. According to the WHO,
this adjustment has saved 50,000 people in China alone (Kottasová).
According to the WHO, when the quantity of NO2 in the air surpasses 200 g/m3, it might
trigger inflammation in the respiratory tract, leading to respiratory problems. Due to the present
lockdown, transportation is limited, and industries are shuttered; as a result, NO2 levels in the air
have plummeted dramatically in industries globally (from 5.6 g/m3 to 0.2 g/m3) (Otmani et al.).
NASA and ESA monitored the ozone to track the sudden drop in NO2 level throughout COVID19's first quarantine stage in China. This drop in NO2 concentrations started in China and
gradually spread throughout the globe. The reduction in NO2 level was important in China since
the coronavirus struck at the same season as the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival); like all
industries, transportation and enterprises were already shuttered COVID-19-induced lockdown.

The emission of co2 causes global warming (CO2). Emissions of co2 are greatly
influenced by transportation, industry, and energy. The coronavirus induced intermediate
suspension of such sectors has resulted in the highest drop in artificial CO2 emissions since
WWII. Even during pandemic, aircraft aviation traffic plummeted by 60%, causing an
intermediary decline in CO2 emissions relative to pre-crisis statuses. The coronavirus pandemicinduced lockout, for example, has cut carbon footprints in China by around 200 million metric
tons. At least 77,000 lives might be spared due to this decrease (Climate Action Tracker). A
similar impact has been found in northern Italy, with Columbia University scientists reporting a
5–10 percent drop in CO2 emissions. Therefore, the current COVID-19 control measures around
the globe are revealing a direct link between pollutant concentrations and economic activity like
manufacturing, transport, and energy generation, as well as small-scale city-level disruptions. As
the corona pandemic subsides, this shows that clean energy-based systems will be required.
